120. "The future will depend on what we do
in the present." -- Mahatma Gandhi

Good morning! Today is a great day! And it provides us with the opportunity to continue to engage in the important discussions that we have been. I appreciate this opportunity!

The idea of "postponing" the elections, which rightfully is upsetting, is not new .... the administration has been talking about this for months. In a little while, I will add a few thoughts along that line .... because it is closely connected to everything else we have discussed on the previous 5 "threads" of discussion in the past week.

Yet when we recognize that a potential event in the future is "closely related" to a present situation .... then the logic of Gandhi's statement is self-evident.

Hence, while I recognize that every individual has the right to make up their own mind as to what they want to do .... and I respect that right ..... I will continue to lobby for people to take care of today first .... It is realistic to think that we can get 100+ letters to the designated "targets" by the end of the week.
